The Sesame Street Freak Show; Change.org Petitions for Marriage of Bert & Ernie rebelpundit August 10, 2011 News It now appears we have a solution in the effort to curb the sudden spike in LBGT youth suicide. That’s right, our friends at Change.org say if Bert & Ernie get married on Sesame St. we could make LBGT kids feel better about themselves and prevent the rampant homophobia of non-LBGT kid bullies in schools! And if Elmo wasn’t already transgender enough for you, don’t worry; Change.org isn’t suggesting anything crude or disrespectful. “We are not asking that Sesame Street do anything crude or disrespectful. Only that they allow Bert & Ernie to marry or even add a transgender character to the show.“ Sesame Street says: “Bert and Ernie are best friends” “Even though the Sesame Street Muppets…possess many human traits and characteristics, they have no sexual orientation.” Leave a Reply Cancel ReplyYour email address will not be published.CommentName* Email* Website Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.
